chec battery for condition including load test. if you have to tap starter to make it work starter may be bad have it checked for draw at auto parts. for the dieing, check fuel pressure and scan for codes first. also clean throttle plateon both sides with choke cleaner.

take a paper clip and cross A&B on the aldl below the dash lh side, watch for light flashes when youturn key on it will blink 3 times for one number then three times for other number-- like 1 then 2= code 12. then come back to site and look under obd1 for codes. fuel pressure should be checked on fuel rail with agauge 41-47 psi for port fuel. throttle plate is where the air duct goes inafter air cleaner.
